Insider threat assessment: audit of misuse by current or terminated employees, DLP validation, role segregation, leakage via sanctioned channels.
Why now
Insiders cause more damage than external attackers — and almost nobody tests it. Sales reps copy the customer base before resigning. BPO operators leak data for BRL 200. IT has a shared admin credential dating back 6 years. It's not theory, it's daily practice in Brazil. ANS, BACEN and LGPD cases start from inside.

/attack-surface
Every engagement is designed for your environment. The points below are part of our standard playbook for this sector — final scope is adapted to your stack and contract.
Who has access to what. Mapping over-privileged accounts, orphan accounts, excessive last-login.
Function conflicts (approver + executor), SoD matrix validation in ERP, HR, finance.
Validation whether DLP detects exfiltration via personal email, personal drive, USB, AirDrop, printing, screenshots.
Audit of termination process: orphan SaaS, unrevoked personal certs, active VPN access.
External operator access — call center, accounting, marketing. Frequently forgotten.
Do critical events (mass downloads, off-hours access, anomalous geolocation) become actionable alerts?
Security culture validation via authorized campaign. Targeted training.
/methodology
Automated scanners find what's documented. Real attackers find what isn't. 90% of the work is manual — performed by specialists holding OSCP, CISSP, CRTO and GPEN.
Target mapping, OSINT, footprint, sector-specific threat modeling.
Deep enumeration, complementary scanning, manual exposure identification.
Manual validation with controlled PoC, finding chaining, escalation.
Executive + technical, step-by-step replication, mapped to applicable regulation.
/why-trust
Cases in fintech (compromised BPO), healthcare (shared IT) and public sector (employee with eternal access).
Technical assessment recognized in highly regulated, mission-critical environments — the pentest that finds what nobody had found before.

NDAs work in court. They don't work day-to-day. Before first access, every pentester on our team passes background, psychometric profile and integrity testing.
/faq
Yes. Internal pentest simulates an external attacker who got in. Insider assessment simulates a current or former employee — with legitimate access and process knowledge. Vectors and detection differ.
Only with explicit authorization within the employment contract. Authorized phishing simulation in educational campaign, yes. Collecting info on employees without consent, no — violates LGPD and HR.
Yes. BPO is often the weakest link. We audit access, segregation, logs and contract clauses. We always recommend including it in scope.
BRL 30-80k for mid-size company (up to 500 employees). BRL 80-200k for large (multi-site, BPO, multi-country). Includes governance tabletop.
